Hello folks

Would anyone happen to know what BB the above mentioned bike would take?

About to pull the trigger on one, seller informs me there is some drive side creak.

While it may be as little as a loosened chainring bolt, I'd like to know what BB the frame is meant to take.

Read that they take French threaded BBs and I'm not entirely sure he has the appropriate BB in place currently.

Thanks for any info

It depends on the age of the bike.

Have a look here to date it and here for threading info.

Get bsa cups see if they fit.
French threads are the wrong way round non drive side.
Velo Orange still does french bb.

Certainly late 90s 'Competition' models were BSA/BSC threading.
I had a Super Competition from the mid 80s and seem to think it was also the same, earlier models were either French or Swiss thread BBs
Edit..here's the Peugeot page http://cyclespeugeot.com/Threading.html

I bought an 80's comp and was disappointed to see a French bracket in there. Cost me 45 notes to put a new one in it!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
